Cattleya alliance.

Bifrenaria (Stenocoryne) stephanae (vitellina?)
This is the one of the small-flowered bifrenarias
commonly called stenocorynes. They produce longer multifloral inflorescences with much smaller flowers than typical
bifrenarias. In the case here, bright yellow flowers.
FS - 15.00

Galeandra devoniana
The largest-flowered and probably the showiest of
all galendras. It comes from the Amazon lowlands and thus it is a warm grower. Flowers have maroon segments and
the large lip is white with defined longitidinal purple stripes.

Maxillaria juergensii
One of the smallest species in the
genus, M. juergensii produces clumps that are rarely more than
2" across. Flowers are produced one on each growth, but as the plants branch so much they can be very numerous
and the plants produce a nice effect. Flowers are a bit more than ½" across, very large for the size
of the plants.

Maxillaria schunkeana
The darkest of the maxillarias. Flowers are almost
black (actually a very, very dark purple-red), are about ¾" across and produced several at at a time,
each on its short individual flower spike.
Plants are also compact. Intermediate growers.

Miltonia spectabilis moreliana
The largest flowered of the Brazilian miltonias.
Flowers can be up to 5" tall and more than 3" across, have always dark colors and are produced on fairly
short spikes. Warm to intermediate, rather shady and humid. Easy to grow.

Oncidium jonesianum
One of the rat-tail leafed oncidiums. The ones here
are the upright type, with large (about 2") and showy (good shape and large lip) flowers. Species need to
be grown rather dry during Fall and Winter.

Oncidium nanum x sib select
Another species from the Amazon. Plants produce
mule-ear type leaves like O. lanceanum, but never get so big. Inflorescences are pendulous and
the 3/4" flowers are produced up to 100 per inflorescence on mature plants.
2" - 18.00

Oncidium sarcodes
A warm to intermediate species. Plants
grow in the rainforest so they like to grow a bit shady (although of course, these are artificially propagated).
Flowers are about 1 1/2" across and produced on long, arching inflorescences. Flowers are similar to those
of species from section crispa.
3" (FS) - 18.00

Warmingia eugenii
A very interesting species with their fairly long
(to 6"+) pendent inflorescences with shiny and nearly transparent white 3/4" flowers.
